03 Why VEVO

Why upload your
videos to VEVO?

VEVO is one of the most popular places for fans to watch and stream music videos, on YouTube, on connected TV and across VEVO's own apps and channels.

Find new fans

VEVO channels surface next to established artists in the same genre, which puts your video in front of people who were never searching for you.

More engagement

A proper video keeps people watching for minutes instead of seconds, and gives your release something to be shared as, not just linked to.

More royalties

Video views can increase what you earn compared with uploading to YouTube alone, because your visuals monetise through an official partner channel.

Official artist identity

An Official VEVO channel plus a YouTube Official Artist Channel means one verified home for your videos instead of uploads scattered across random accounts.

Beyond the browser

VEVO distributes to connected TV, streaming platforms and its own programmed channels, so your video reaches screens you can't upload to yourself.

Works with Content ID

Pair it with YouTube Content ID so you earn from fan uploads, covers and shorts that use your audio, not just the official video.

06 FAQs

VEVO video distribution
explained.

Can I get my music video on VEVO?

Yes. Create a free account, pick the Artist or Label plan, and we'll set up your Official VEVO artist channel. Your videos need to meet VEVO's music video guidelines, an official video, lyric video or live performance tied to a release you've distributed.

Which plans include VEVO distribution?

VEVO video distribution is included with the Artist plan, and the Label plan adds free VEVO channel creation and distribution for every artist on your roster. The Single plan is audio distribution only.

How much money will I make from VEVO?

VEVO royalties are based on a cost per stream, and that rate varies with where the viewer is, whether they're on a paid or ad-supported tier, and how the video was watched. There's no fixed figure, but you keep 100% of what your videos earn.

When will I get paid by VEVO?

You'll receive 100% of the royalties you're owed directly into your Vybe Studio account. Video platforms report on their own cycle, so it can take up to a couple of months for a month's views to arrive.

How do I get more views on my VEVO videos?

Release the video alongside the track rather than weeks later, share the SmartLink everywhere, and keep the channel active. Artists on VEVO also get considered for playlisting and editorial support across VEVO's own channels and social accounts.

Do I keep the rights to my videos?

Yes. You own your videos and your music. We distribute them on your behalf, that doesn't transfer anything to us.

What kind of videos can I upload?

Official music videos, lyric videos, visualisers and live performance videos, as long as you have the rights to everything in them, the footage, the audio and any samples or clips it contains.

How do I start putting music videos on VEVO?

You can start right now. Create a free account, pick your plan, and upload your first video from the dashboard.
